Terms of Service for Dictionary +
**Effective Date:** August 30, 2026
**Last Updated:** August 30, 2026
## 1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and JanoGroup LLC (“JanoGroup,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your download, installation, access to, purchase through, and use of the Dictionary + mobile application and related content, features, subscriptions, and services collectively referred to as the “Service.”
By downloading, accessing, purchasing through, or using Dictionary +, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.
If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
## 2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Dictionary +. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
You represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms and that your use of the Service is not prohibited by applicable law.
## 3. License to Use Dictionary +
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, JanoGroup grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to install and use Dictionary + on devices that you own or control for personal, non-commercial purposes.
The Service is licensed, not sold. JanoGroup and its licensors retain all rights not expressly granted under these Terms.
You may not:
- Copy, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or commercially exploit the Service
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decode, or attempt to derive source code, except where applicable law expressly permits it
- Circumvent subscriptions, advertisements, access controls, usage limits, trial restrictions, or security measures
- Use automation, bots, scraping tools, or bulk-query methods without written authorization
- Modify, create derivative works from, or remove legal or proprietary notices from the Service
- Interfere with the Service, introduce malicious code, or attempt unauthorized access
- Use the Service to violate any law or the rights of another person
- Misrepresent your identity, entitlement, purchase status, or eligibility for an offer
## 4. Dictionary Content
Dictionary + provides definitions, examples, synonyms, antonyms, pronunciations, and related language information for general informational and educational purposes.
Dictionary content may come from JanoGroup, licensed databases, public resources, operating-system services, or third-party providers. Content may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, regional differences, disputed usage, or pronunciation variations.
Dictionary + is not a substitute for professional, legal, medical, financial, academic, translation, safety, or other specialized advice. You are solely responsible for evaluating content before relying on it.
We do not guarantee that every word will be available or that any definition, example, pronunciation, synonym, antonym, spelling, or usage will be accurate, complete, current, or appropriate for a particular purpose.
## 5. Free Previews and Promotional Offers
JanoGroup may offer free previews, introductory access, promotional pricing, trials, discounts, or other offers at its discretion. Eligibility, duration, availability, and benefits may vary by user, device, platform, region, account, or time.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, promotional access is limited to one offer per eligible user, device, platform account, household, or payment method. Attempts to obtain repeated promotional access through reinstalling the app, resetting identifiers, creating additional accounts, or other circumvention are prohibited.
A free in-app preview that does not require payment information will not automatically create a paid subscription. A separate Apple App Store or Google Play introductory offer may automatically convert into a paid subscription according to the terms displayed during checkout.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue future promotional offers at any time. Changes will not retroactively impose a charge that you did not authorize.
## 6. Premium Subscriptions
Dictionary + may offer automatically renewing subscriptions, lifetime purchases, or other paid products. Available products, billing periods, features, introductory offers, currencies, taxes, and prices are displayed through the applicable app store at the time of purchase.
By confirming a purchase, you authorize Apple App Store or Google Play to charge the displayed amount, including applicable taxes, using your selected payment method.
Unless otherwise stated during checkout:
- Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period
- Your app-store account will be charged unless you cancel before renewal
- Deleting Dictionary + does not cancel a subscription
- You must manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple or Google account
- Access continues until the end of the paid billing period after cancellation
- Promotional or trial subscriptions may convert to paid subscriptions automatically
JanoGroup does not directly receive or store your complete payment-card information.
## 7. Pricing and Product Changes
We may add, remove, modify, repackage, or discontinue plans, features, billing periods, promotional offers, and prices from time to time.
The price and terms shown by the applicable app store when you authorize a transaction control that purchase. Changes to an existing automatically renewing subscription will be handled according to applicable law and app-store requirements, including advance notice or consent where required.
A pricing change will not authorize us to charge you a new amount without the notice, authorization, or consent required by the applicable platform or law.
Taxes, currency conversion, app-store policies, and regional pricing may affect the final amount charged.
## 8. Cancellations and Refunds
You may cancel an automatically renewing subscription through your Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings.
JanoGroup cannot directly cancel an app-store subscription on your behalf. Cancellation generally takes effect at the end of the current billing period unless the app store or applicable law provides otherwise.
Purchases and refund requests are administered by the platform through which the purchase was made. Refund eligibility is determined by Apple, Google, or applicable law.
- Apple support: https://support.apple.com/billing
- Google Play support: https://support.google.com/googleplay/
Nothing in these Terms limits refund, cancellation, withdrawal, or consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.
## 9. Changes to the Service
We may update, modify, improve, restrict, suspend, replace, or discontinue any portion of the Service.
Features may change because of legal requirements, security concerns, provider availability, licensing changes, technical limitations, business decisions, or platform requirements.
We do not guarantee that any particular feature, design, provider, word entry, advertisement format, or integration will remain available indefinitely. Where required by law, we will provide notice or an appropriate remedy for material changes affecting a paid Service.
We are not required to disclose confidential technology, internal operations, source code, security procedures, provider arrangements, business methods, or system architecture.
## 10. Advertisements and Third-Party Services
The Service may display advertisements or use third-party services for dictionary content, purchases, subscription management, distribution, device functionality, analytics, security, or other features.
Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. JanoGroup does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, advertisements, products, availability, security, accuracy, pricing, policies, or conduct.
Your interactions with advertisers and third parties are solely between you and the applicable third party. JanoGroup is not responsible for losses arising from those interactions, except where responsibility cannot legally be excluded.
## 11. Intellectual Property
Dictionary +, including its software, branding, design, organization, text, graphics, and original content, is owned by or licensed to JanoGroup and is protected by intellectual-property laws.
Dictionary data and other third-party materials remain owned by their respective licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Dictionary + or third-party content to you.
“Dictionary +,” JanoGroup names, logos, and related branding may not be used without prior written permission.
## 12. Feedback
If you submit suggestions, ideas, feedback, or recommendations, you grant JanoGroup a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable right to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, commercialize, and incorporate that feedback without compensation or obligation to you.
Do not submit confidential information as feedback.
## 13. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how information is stored and processed in connection with Dictionary +. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference and is available through Dictionary + and the JanoGroup website.
By using the Service, you acknowledge the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.
## 14. Suspension and Termination
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Service if we reasonably believe that you:
- Violated these Terms or applicable law
- Circumvented access controls, subscriptions, advertisements, or offers
- Engaged in fraud, abuse, unauthorized automation, or harmful conduct
- Created security, legal, or operational risk
- Used the Service in a manner that could harm JanoGroup, users, providers, or third parties
We may also discontinue the Service generally. Sections intended by their nature to survive termination will remain effective, including provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, disputes, and general legal terms.
## 15. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS.”
JANOGROUP AND ITS LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AVAILABILITY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY DEVICE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you.
## 16. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, JANOGROUP, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
THIS INCLUDES LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, DEVICE USE, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES ARISING FROM:
- ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE
- RELIANCE ON DICTIONARY OR THIRD-PARTY CONTENT
- ERRORS, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, OR SERVICE UNAVAILABILITY
- ADVERTISEMENTS OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
- UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, SECURITY INCIDENTS, OR DATA LOSS
- CHANGES TO OR DISCONTINUATION OF THE SERVICE
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JANOGROUP’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:
1. The amount you paid to JanoGroup through Dictionary + during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or
2. One hundred United States dollars (US $100).
These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory and even if a remedy fails its essential purpose. They do not exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability for intentional misconduct or other non-waivable obligations.
## 17. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless JanoGroup, its owners, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from claims, damages, losses, judgments, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from:
- Your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Service
- Your material violation of these Terms
- Your infringement or violation of another person’s rights
- Fraudulent, abusive, or harmful conduct attributable to you
This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from JanoGroup’s unlawful conduct or where indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.
## 18. Informal Dispute Resolution
Before filing a formal claim, you and JanoGroup agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally for at least 60 days.
A written notice must describe the dispute, relevant facts, requested relief, and contact information. Notices to JanoGroup must be sent to janogroupllc@gmail.com with the subject “Legal Dispute Notice.”
This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief where necessary to prevent immediate harm.
## 19. Arbitration and Class-Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, unresolved disputes arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved through individual, binding arbitration rather than in court.
Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this provision. Arbitration may occur remotely unless the arbitrator determines another format is appropriate.
You and JanoGroup agree that claims may be brought only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, collective, coordinated, mass, or representative proceeding.
You and JanoGroup waive the right to a jury trial to the extent permitted by law.
Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small-claims court. Either party may also seek injunctive relief for actual or threatened intellectual-property infringement, unauthorized access, security violations, or circumvention of the Service.
You may opt out of arbitration by emailing janogroupllc@gmail.com within 30 days after first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out,” and a clear statement that you reject the arbitration provision.
If applicable law prohibits mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver, that prohibition controls only to the extent required by law.
## 20. Governing Law
Except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the District of Columbia and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
For disputes not subject to arbitration, you and JanoGroup consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in or serving the District of Columbia.
Consumers may retain mandatory rights and protections available under the laws of their place of residence.
## 21. Apple App Store Terms
If you obtain Dictionary + through Apple App Store, you acknowledge that:
- These Terms are between you and JanoGroup, not Apple
- JanoGroup, not Apple, is responsible for Dictionary + and its content
- Your license is limited to use on Apple-branded products you own or control, subject to Apple’s Usage Rules, including applicable Family Sharing rules
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support
- If Dictionary + fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price as required by its policies
- To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation
- JanoGroup, not Apple, is responsible for product claims, legal compliance, and intellectual-property claims concerning Dictionary +
- You represent that you are not located in an embargoed country and are not listed on a prohibited or restricted-party list
- You must comply with applicable third-party terms
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce the applicable provisions against you
## 22. Export and Legal Compliance
You may not use, export, or re-export the Service in violation of United States export-control laws, sanctions, or other applicable laws.
You represent that you are not prohibited from receiving the Service under applicable trade restrictions.
## 23. Force Majeure
JanoGroup will not be responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, utility or network failures, labor disputes, government actions, war, terrorism, civil unrest, epidemics, platform outages, provider failures, cyberattacks, or changes in law.
## 24. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, pricing structure, business practices, providers, legal requirements, security needs, or platform rules.
The updated Terms will display a revised “Last Updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated through the Service, release notes, the JanoGroup website, or another reasonable method.
Changes apply prospectively when they become effective. If applicable law requires consent to a material change, we will request it.
Your continued use of the Service after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, except where additional consent is legally required.
If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and cancel any subscription through your app-store account.
## 25. General Legal Terms
These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and JanoGroup concerning the Service, except for additional terms displayed and accepted during a purchase.
If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remaining provisions will remain effective.
Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without JanoGroup’s written permission. JanoGroup may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or operation of law.
Section headings are for convenience only. The words “including” and “include” mean “including without limitation.”
Except for Apple as expressly stated above, these Terms do not create third-party beneficiary rights.
